Macomb Flag Initiative

A New Flag for Macomb County

Intro: 

Macomb County deserves a flag that represents its people, history, and future. Currently, the county does not have an official flag that is widely recognized, and the design that is often used is unofficial and lacks a clear identity. 

This campaign aims to create a simple, meaningful, and modern flag that the residents can take pride in.

Why Change the Flag?

• Not officially established: The current flag is unofficial and not widely recognized

• Hard to recognize: The design is difficult to recognize from a distance

• Too complex: Good flags are simple and memorable

• Lacks identity: It doesn't clearly represent Macomb County's people or geography

A strong flag should be:

• Simple

• Symbolic

• Easy to recognize

• Free of words

What Makes a Good Flag

A well-designed flag follows a few key ideas:

• Simple shapes and colors

• No words or seals

• Meaningful symbols 

• Easy to draw and remember

Many successful flags follow these same ideas. 

Design Ideas

A new flag for Macomb County could include: 

• Water features that represent Lake St. Clair or the Clinton River

• Stars symbolizing unity and community

• Clean geometric shapes for a modern look

The goal is a design that people can recognize instantly and feel proud to display. 

Closing Statement

A flag may seem like a small change, but it serves as a lasting symbol of identity and pride. Currently, Macomb County does not have a widely recognized official flag, presenting an opportunity to create one that truly reflects the community—simple, strong, and meaningful.
